Default Steering wheel leather getting old

The leather wrapping on my '01 3-spoke steering wheel has developed light cracking. Now, under 50,000 miles I would have certainly thought my dealer would replace. But since I'm over 50K (although I DO HAVE Audi Assured), I'm worried they won't cover.

Obvious answer - ask them ...

But I thought I'd check and see if anyone here has ever tried to get a replacement wheel / leather wrapping and if it wasn't covered how much it cost?

Default when u ask them be sure to post their reply here

my armrest was replaced under audi assured due to the leatherette comming appart from around it. So maybe they will cover the steering wheel for you.

goodluck
